A GOOD HUSBAND SHOULD MAKE A GOOD ALDERMAN A GOOD HUSBAND SHOULD MAKE A GOOD ALDERMAN Mrs. Louis B. Anderson, Wife of Candidate for Alderman of the 2nd Ward, Is Persuaded by Reporter to Give Her Views on Requirements of Man for That Office. HOME LIFE ONLY GUIDE. Knows Nothing of Political Game, But Believes Husband Would Bring to Office All of the Virtues That So Conspicuously Characterize His Life at Home. That discussion on the aldermanic quarrel in relation to her husband made it given to the band mike of the Defender called B. Anderson at her residence, 282a avenue, and asked her to be interviewed. At first Mrs. Anderson was reluctant about talking for publication, contending, to use her own words, "I know very little about politics." "This might seem strange in view of the fact that my husband is such an active participant in what is commonly called the political game." "What kind of an alderman do you think your husband would make in event of his nomination and election?" queried the Defender's representative. Home Life Standard. "I could only estimate Mr. Anderson in a position of that kind from my knowledge of him at home," replied Mrs. Anderson. "If that is to be my standard of measurement, then I would not hesitate to say that he would make one of the best aldermen of the city, but I could not conceive of his doing anything official capacity that would not comport in the highest degree with his splendid traits of identity, kindness and abiding faith in his family and home." Seventeen Years Good Test. "Of course," she continued, "you will understand that I could not feel other than that he would bring to the office of alderman all of the virtues that have so conspicuously characterized his life at home. I believe that after seventeen years of married life I am a very good position to know what life off—then he is. It is frequently said that what he conduct would be his conduct at home has been. This audard in my judgment is an excellent one, and I am willing to apply a test to Mr. Anderson." Her Only Wish. I think what I have said regarding husband is shared in every sense all the members of our family and they were asked the question that have asked me with regard to his act as an alderman, should he beinated and elected, I think they I saw of and about him the same way I saw him. I have dislikes any activity on the part of her husband which keeps him so much away from home, but I have come to feel that if he can be helpful to the race if no matter what sphere of activity, I am willing to make the sacrifice that his frequent absence from home and family entails. There is just one wish that I have in connection with his effort in this contest and that is, that he will not become involved in personal bitterness which may live after it is all over. I know one thing that is that that is what he has driven hard and I believe that when it is all over matter what the outcome, he will feel as kindly towards his opponents as he did before the contest began."

FEATURES DON'T COUNT. Case of Mrs. Alma Little of Detroit Brings Forth Statement From Famous Anthropologist—All Black People Not Negroes—Thick Lips and Kinky Hair in All Races. Blood tests will not determine the racial origin of human life. This statement is positive. Science has a last taken a definite stand. Its highest authority has spoken. These statements are occasioned by the case of Mrs. Alma Shatters of 1619 Peachtown Campus avenue, Detroit, Mich., whose husband in using for a divorce claimed that she had Negro blood in her veins. The frantic woman appealed to Prof. Boaz, the noted anthropologist at Columbia University, and that noted authority in summing up her case says: Pure Whites Have Kinky Hair. Pure Whites Have KIRKY Hair. "We know that the present races of men are the descendants of the three sons of Noah. They have therefore some of the same characteristics. It is known that they have the blood in their veins fail any of the said characteristics. Yet on the other hand we will find many pure whites with kinky hair, some with dark skin, others with white skin and flat nose and thick lips. The way things went in the last generation in the South it is highly impossible to know which is which, and the way things are going on right now among those that are fairer and the whites it will be still harder and will in run of time put the people up against a rough by proposition if they try to draw from their own by means of color what they cannot prove by blood. Mixed marriages do not prove that only the unfavorable conditions and characteristics of the darker race remain. Intermarriages Centuries Old. He further says that no white man can prove whether or not he is married to one of his own race. Moreover science goes to prove that in Europe where mixed marriages have been approved, and in Africa these marriages have been going on for ages, that there must be thousands of people right here in America that have blood in them from their remote ancestors as none were on this continent when Columbus landed. Most of the earlier settlers were from France and Spain. In prehistoric times there lived a race in the southern part of France that resembled the Negro and yet they are not of African origin because they originated in Europe. Scientists Can't Tell. Therefore a man or woman may have the characteristics of the purest white blood and yet have a strain of the African or Chinese race in their blood and it would not show until it would crop out in their children or children. Science frankly confesses the utility to determine the purity of a person's blood. Prof. Boaz again says: "It is impossible to settle the question on any one feature, because as every one knows, you often find among certain races one or more features of entirely different races, yet you would be unable to determine whether the question had the blood in his veins of the nation or race which he favors."

Wilson Now in Charge of Dining Room— Como Hotel Small Place. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Hot Springs, Ark. Feb. 12—The Eastman crew arrived from Chicago and St. Louis last week, and after three days of cleaning up, opened Saturday with their usual ball. It was rumored down the line that the Eastman would open this year with a white head waiter. As the white gentleman from Boston did not put in his appearance Mr. R. L. Wilson, formerly at the Arlington, was promoted from second waiter to head, and Mr. Thomas Hopkins to second, and a strong staff of officers and waiters to support him. Mr. Hopkins has many friends in this city who wish him a great success, and it is generally known among them who know him that he has a big heart and is generous of his means, and kind. Mr. Dai J. J.

WHITE GIRLS MUST NOT WORK WITH JAPS OR AFRO-AMERICANS Race Question to Come Up in Montana Senate When Senator Willett Fathers Bill Prohibiting the Employment of Males of African and Asiatic Races with Females of White Race. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Bob Mont. Feb. 12.—There will be unusual interest in the sessions of the state state at Hope from this time on by reason of the fact that the color question has been injected into affairs. Wednesday, January 27, Senator Lefteri of Mineral county served notice that he would introduce a bill prohibiting the employment of males of the African or Asiatic races with females of the white race. It is said that this bill is aimed at the Chinese and Japanese restaurants where white girls are employed as waitresses. Chizens Promptly Protest. Just write the Afro-American is to be included in measure no one can explain, but the reasonable members of the race have lost due in entering their protest against it. The announcement had hardly been made before the daily newspapers were bombed with letters denouncing the proposed bill. Much to their credit they have been generous in their space and the indignant citizens have denounced the proposed bill in no uncertain terms. Among the first to protest was Rev. C. A. Raulston, pastor of Church. No Afro-American Employed. Considerable publicity was given to the following letter, signed by Lucius Clifford, Rev. C. A. Raulston and Rev. Bem Reed: "Please allow us space in your valuable paper to enter a protest to the bill to be introduced in the state state of Helena by Senator James of Mineral county, Montana, to prohibit Negro males from running with females of the white race. This I consider a slap at the Negro directly, with the Asiatics as an excuse to have the bill become a law, for does not the gentleman from Mineral county say his bill DENVER PEOPLE TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE Denver, Colo.

(Special to Chicago Defender.) Decatur, Ill., Feb. 12—With a view of placing the Afro-American citizenship of Decatur on a higher level in civic as well as political activities the Colored Men's Civic League of Decatur has been organized by several of the leading men. The format of this organization was started last fall and has finally been perfected and elected. The organization started with thirty-five members, and it is expected many more will be added soon. The object of the organization, as stated in the preamble, is to gain a better standing for the race, as it is believed that certain members of the race have caused the many good opportunities to be jeopardized. The men of the new organization feel that they want to contribute their just share to all activities. Officers elected are as follows: President Richard Jones; vice president Robert Lawrence; secretary Charles Lawrence; assistant secretary Henry Owens; treasurer, Shahee Vanderbilt; advisory board, Thomas Miller; and Hunt Huxton. Washington, D. C, Feb. 12.—In the current issue of the Washington Sun, John W. Lewis writes as follows: Editor of The Sun: Yours of the 27th inst., with clippings from the Washington Post, asking me for an expression in regards to the separate cars for the Negroes in the District of Columbia, has received and made with care. In reply, I would say I am opposed to the bill, but will perhaps say more along that line later. If statements are true, as have been published by the press of the country, I cannot see what time our statesmen on the "Hill" have to "air" them, telling the country what kind of race the Negroes must ride in in the District of Columbia. Nickel Subject for Oratory. With business all over this country paralyzed, brought on by a tariff bill pretending to raise the high cost of living; a currency bill on the statute books not altogether satisfactory to the financiers; the country忙着 assessed for a war tax that nobody understands; with a war going on some 3,000 miles away; with a deficiency in the treasury department already $70,000,000; with a shipping bill now before the Senate waiting for its passage, which, if passed, might bring, serious international trouble for this country, with Mexico making us spend many elephants might wondering what their next business will be with all the above-mentioned problems, yet unsolved, still some of our statesmen are willing to sacrifice the few days Congress is to remain in session and take up the time "airing" themselves about where the Negro should ride in street cars after he pays his nickel. Jobs Are At Stake. I believe that the parties in power, after smashing every plank in the Baltimore platform they had in it of any importance, have finally looked around for another, and they couldn't find it, so they have made a substitute plank and divided it into two parts—one part to work in the North and the other part to work in the South. In the North, it is "Down with the Trusts, Small up the Corporations!" "Fill the with idleness!" In the South, "Down with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amounts! Humilize the Negro, or else we can't get back to Congress!" Uncle Sam and the Ant. Looking at the condition of the country as I do, I have about reached the conclusion that were I an artist I would draw a picture with Russia, Japan, France and Austria all sitting around the table, counsellors of war; leaving the picture a messenger boy to the field generals and the general giving orders to his army to take session of this country; and then I would picture Uncle Sam, sitting on a log, with a club in his hand, beating an ant; and I would write underneath the ant the word, "Negro."

Stage folk help circulate the paper also, for no artist, be he舞者, singer or musician, ever forgets to advertise the Defender when he is away from home. Big Features Please. Big feature stories, big human interest articles like those published in the dailies, are to be found in the Defender weekly. Cartoons that are drawn by bright members of the race also appear every week. No happenings are too small for the Defender to handle. The cartoon work of the killing of Mr. Walker in the last issue was one of the feats of the Defender, the like of which has never been appeared in a weekly race paper in this section. Porters Are Proud of Paper. A railroad port of Chicago feels proud of a paper that does big things, and he shows it to a friend or an acquaintance in some other clique; it's appreciated there, and goes the same way. A reader is not only satisfied with the news value of the paper, its attractive front page, its modern makeup, but turns to the back page and there he reads the editorials. Their praise is best attested by the number of tears from readers from all sections and the comment of other publications. Circulation Manager Pleased. While news stands are increasing their orders, and new ones coming in daily, the subscription list is jumping with a mighty whop. Phil Jones, the circulation manager, is highly gratified with the new subscribers, not only a Ghanaian, but throughout the country.

Agents write that the Defender is on the job when it comes to prompt replies to all letters. With the paper on sale at Chiring Road, London, England, the Defender is almost everywhere in the big cities in the United States, the Defender is truly forging ahead. Hats Off to Railroad Men.

Anderson I want to add my personal thanks to you for the masterly way your paper has treated this aldermanic situation. I am proud of you and of us like such as could not be obtained from any other person. Put me down in the list of those who believe that Mr. Louis B. Anderson would win the race, and the race winners in the second ward. His record for efficiency and proven ability has made me hope that the great majority of our people will see this situation from the view of the city council as distinguished from mere race representation. Mr. Anderson would not only to himself but Mrs. Butter Pleads With Voters. Diller Chicago Defender Editor Chicago Defender: Please permit a brief space in the columns of your valuable paper to express my thanks for the intelligence and light which your paper has given the public on the present struggle to procure an alderman of our race in the City Council. Every phase of the situation has been cleverly and plainly: put before your readers. I am intensely interested in this struggle, and I, like so many others, deeply regret that the nomination of one of our race cannot absolutely be assured, reducing the candidates to one. From what I have read and heard, I think that Mr. Louis B. Anderson is the only candidate of our race contending for the nomination: that has shown the true spirit.

I am glad that he is willing to women and men, too, will hire aside personal considerations and vote for the one most capable for the Office. In my opinion that man is the Honorable Louis MRS. LOUISE BUTLER, 3847. Dearborn Street I have been an interested and admiring reader of your paper for a long period, and I take this method of not only thanking you for the breadth and scope of its news but also the intelligent manner in which it is conveyed to its many readers. My particular reason for this communication is to express a thought on the subject of the contest now being waged in the second ward to procure race representation in the city council. It is seriously to be regretted that this opportunity is not being taken advantage of by a united race. Since it seems that the contestants are bound in a death-like grip, the voters should assert themselves and thereby bring victory to the race where defeat seems imminent. Let us ignore the personal abuses that some of the candidates appear to be indulging in, and rally to the support of one. Let also that support be based upon efficiency, experience and capacity. It has occurred to me that if these considerations will control, we will not only be assured of a colored alderman, but one who will fittingly represent us. After a careful investigation I have reached the conclusion that Mr. Louis B. Anderson in the highest degree represents those qualities. I have, therefore, decided to cast my vote for him and I hope for the good of the race that a vast majority of our people will do likewise. Mrs. Mildred A.

The flying pins are fixed in a buoy, which floats a few feet beneath the surface of the water, and above the explosive reservoir. An electric cable runs from the anchor, beneath the bottom, to the shore station. When a pin is driven into the boboy, it once falls to ring or a light to flash in the electrostation, warning the observer on duty that a vessel is passing over a mine.

Sneed, Precinct Committeeman, 9th Precinct, 2nd Ward, Tests Love and Duty and Finds That Latter Means Support of People's Choice for Alderman. Candidacy of Louis B. Anderson is Unquestionably the Choice of the Voters in His Precinct, Asserts the Well Known Politician in Signed Statement. By John P. Sneed, Precinct Committeeman, 9th Precinct. I have hesitated wavering between what may be called "love and duty" in the present aldermanic contest now being waged in the 2nd Ward for representation among many people in the City Council. As the representative of the 2nd Ward Republican organization in the 9th precinct, I have tried to do my utmost in the interest of the organization because I felt that their wish and will had been manic contest now being waged in the 2nd Ward for representation among my people in the Gila County, the representative of the 2nd Ward Republican organization in the 9th precinct, I have tried to do my utmost in the inter-cession of the organization because I have felt that their wish and will had been Louis B. Anderson, on the side of the People's right and in harb'Choice for Al-mony and sympathy with the sentiment of the people living within this precinct. Only Logical Course. Safety investigation based upon personal, contact and conversation with the vast majority of my people living in my precinct has convinced me that the organization candidate is not the choice of the people residing in the precinct. Being mindful of the fact that my strength and worth to the Republican organization is measured by my strength with the people, and my usefulness to the organization can be seen in the counter to the wishes of those that I represent. What then is my duty? As I see it, both in justice to myself, and honest and fair dealings with those whom I must daily come in contact, there is but one logical course to pursue. It is this: To follow the will of the majority and my own conscience as to what is right. This candidacy of Mr. Louis B. Anderson is questionably the choice of the people who do not stem this tide even if I wanted to. It does not mean, in my opinion, that the people in my precinct are opposed to the organization, but as I 5 John P. Sneed. see it, and hear it, on every side and hand, they are opposed to the candidate of the organization in this fight. Must Bow to the Will of the People. In making this statement I do not wish to be understood as leaving the organization, but I do wish to be understood as being in harmony and in sympathy with the people in my precept because I feel that I can be useful to the organization only in the degree that I am in harmony and sympathy with the people. No in fairness could say other than that a representative of a group of people is same who does not follow the will and wish of the people whom he pretends to lead. I am therefore with Louis B. Anderson, who, in my judgment, is the choice of the Negro people of the 2nd Ward for alderman and I here and now declare myself to be with him and do all in my power to assure his nomination. If he is not nominated, like all good Republicans I will be just as strong with the winner as I feel now I ought to be with Mr. Anderson. MR. T. F. DYSON RESIGNS FROM USHERS' BOARD With his resignation this week from the ushers' board of Quinn Chapel Mr. T. F.

RACE ELATED OVER MOVE High Tribunal Declared Laws Unconstitutional and That Afro-Americans Were Entitled to the Same Privileges in Pullmans and Dining Cars as White People. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Oklahoma City, Okla. Feb. 12.—Bills proposing legislation that will provide a definite method of filling possible vacancies in the office of United States senator from Oklahoma, and providing for amendments to the Jim Crow"law, to make it meet the requirements of the United States Supreme Court, probably will be introduced in the House of Representatives some time during the coming week. So far these two important matters have been overlooked by the lawmakers in the presentation of bills, by Speaker A. McCory of the House and by Speaker A. McCory of the House personally see that this legislation, if deemed necessary, would be proposed without further delay. Under the old form of electing United States senators, the legislature, which elected the senator, also had the power of filling vacancies. Since the method of election has been changed, the legislature direct vote of the people, no provision has been made by the legislature for filling a vacancy, should one occur. It is deemed highly important by Speaker McCrystal and other members of the House that this provision should be made in a further delay in order that confusion, and perhaps serious complications in filling a vacancy may be avoided. Portion of Law Unconstitutional. 1. In a recent decision, the United States Supreme court declared unconstitutional certain portions of the Oklahoma separate coach law, more commonly known as the "Jim Crow" law, and it is the intention of Mr. McCory to see that the law is amended to meet the unconstitutional fea- ture of the court. It was held that the separatist law on cars was constitutional, but it declared unconstitutional that portion which denied the Afro-American the same traveling accommodations that are given to white passengers. In other words, the court held that the Afro-American was entitled to the privileges of the Pulman and dining cars if demanded. 2. When Jim Crow" case was taken to the U. S. Supreme court by William H. Harrison, it was through his efforts that the decision was rendered, giving Afro-Americans privilege of dining and Pulman car equality. DR. A. B.

M. E. Church. By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contribut ing Editor. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 12.—The Dana Lyncey Bureau, a body recently organized for the purpose of presenting to California audiences noted casein musicians and lecturers, has again incurred the gratitude of the public by bringing it after a colored statesman, former Congressman John F. Lynch of Mississippi and retired major of the United States army, who accrued a national honor for his service to the Lynch, whose subject was "Reminiscences of Ro construction," lectured a few night ago at the First A. M. E. Church, Eighth street and Towne avenue where a large crowd of representatives people gathered to hear his forceful address. Of this man and his work John Freer Lewis, writing in the Chicago Post, has said: "Perhaps no man now living is better equipped to present the whole facts of the reconstruction period of the Lynch, who John Lynch was an active partisan and a important one in the scenes and events he describes." Recounts Adventures. In his address at the First A. M. Church, after touching upon the amendments of the constitution that are of particular interest to the corral people of this country, Maj Lynch then told some thrilling experiences encountered forty years ago in his native state, some interesting episodes connected with duties as paymaster in the United States army. He closed with words of thoughtful advice to his race, admonishing them particularly to read the works of literature which Negro authors are placing upon the market, thereby keeping in touch with the noteworthy doings of their people. Although born in Louisiana about sixty-eight years ago, Major Lynch spent the greater portion of his busy life in Natchez, Miss., where he was the greatest justice of the peace for Adams county by General Ames, and later military governor of the same state. Served in Leoislature In 1869 Major Lynch was elected to the legislature for a term of two years, and re-elected in 1871, serving the last term as speaker of the house. He also served three terms of two years each as a member of congress, and was sent as a delegate to the national Re-legislature (when he acted as temporary chairman), 1888, 1892 and 1900. He was a member of the Republican national committee for four years and made auditor of the treasury for the navy department under the Harrison administration. Acting as paymaster in the Spanish-American war and in the regiment of the treasury, he appointed captain in the same year and was major in 1906, Major Lynch finally retired five years later, and has devoted his leisure time to the writing of works dealing with reconstruction. Of his "Facts and Reconstruction" the Worcester (Mass.) Gazette has said: "Every collection of matter bearing on the civil war will need this to exceedingly clear story of the years immediately followed the struggle, wherein something approaching order was worked out by the people directly interested. The volume is being used in the libraries of Harvard and Yale Universities, and will be studied as a class book in some of the principal colleges of the country."

Kidney Dropsy. Mrs. J. P. C. writes: "What is the significance of dropley of the cygids? Every morning my husband's lower cygelles are much swollen and puffy. The lower side of his face (the side of his face that rests upon the pillow), is more swollen than the morning it is more swollen than the side of his face that he does not lie on." Dropsy. The term uremia is often used in connection with Bright's disease. It means that there is an accumulation Dr. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TALKS ON of urean and other waste substances in the blood which poison the system. In fact, we have a real condition of blood poisoning. The brain is often first affected by this impure blood and in consequence of which, we have convulsions, epileptic in character, or the individual may become drowsy, comatose. There may be a twitching of the muscles and a jerking aches. When the individual reaches this stage, he is in a dangerous and desperate condition. What to Do Rest in bed. Immediately summons your physician. The application of warm poultices and hot fermentations to the loins, sometimes do good. The kidneys must be assisted in doing their work of elimination. Proper diet is an important factor; avoid alcoholies in every form and all patent kidney (false) remedies. Use plenty of milk, warm blank drinks, such as lemonade, weak teas, etc., under the direction of your physician. Sweating. By sweating we hope to reduce the acidity of the skin and take away water from the system, together with certain solid waste substances, thus diminishing the amount of work the inflamed kidney is unable to do. Purging.—It is of the greatest importance in kidney drops that the bowels be freely open every day. In this way much waste material can be readily removed from the body and thus relieve the kidney of much work that they are called upon to do. Proper Clothing.—The individual with kidney disease should be warmly clotbed in flannels. It is sometimes necessary to place these patients between twnkets to avoid the risk of taking cold or of chilling the body. Mrs. J. P. C., there is very little that can be done in restoring your husband's kidneys to their normal status but there is much you can do in inducing your sons to abstain from alcoholic beverages in every form, to avoid overeating and all undue exposure to dampness, to avoid unnecessary strain and stress by-inducing them to lead a well balanced, regular, hygienic life. To a very large extent kidney dropy, in fact, Bright's disease, is largely a preventable disease and it is up to the individual as to whether he shall give himself this disease of the kidneys and die before his allotted time, or whether he shall lead a careful hygienic life and thus avoid this disease and live out his Biblical allotted time or more.

Berni Barbour Plays Many Late Songs and His Own March Dedicated to the New 8th Regiment Armory. Mr. Ollie Hall Sings "Just One Year Age"—Men in Bald Head Row Mystified by Dancing of "Little Egypt"—Evening Highly Enjoyable—Dr Smith Entertained Tonight. The entertainment committee under Dr. S. C. Dickerson of Appomattox Club, 3441 Wahls avenue, is putting on some "stunts" that make the bald-headed men think of their younger days. Especially was this true on last Saturday night when Mr. Bern Barbour, the noted pianist and composer, and the Blank Stisters gave sidelights of a vaudeville stage. These young women are charming and were beautifully gowned. They know the art of entertaining, having recently been six months in New York entertaining for wealthy people. The very young women in the room there was a chuckle among the members. The nimble feet of the singers began to move and ex-President Cowan rolled his big white eyes. Then they did the "turkey trot" and Frank Hamilton yelled "Great Head of the Church." "At the Ball" was the next number. "Wings got warm at this stage," the bald-headed men in the front row began to laugh and get forgetting early. Mr. Barbour has his own interpretation of that number and when he plays it your feet begin to move. The Blank Stisters took hold of the chorus with a vry. Neighbor Ed Morris looked over his glasses and smiled with his head. "This altar Monday," he said, "son." President Sam Walkins, who arrived late, stood in the middle of the floor and "balled the Jack." Everyone got happy when they began to sing Mr. Barbour's latest success, "Squeezing the Mule." This was a knockout. Bill Adams fell out of a chair he got so happy. Charlie Washington was holding a glass of wichy wine. Things waxed so warm that the man just out dedicated to the new armory was played. Mr. Ollie Hall, who has not been here for 23 years and was a guest of the club, sang "Just One Year Age." It was rendered so perfectly that he responded with an encore, "Charcoal Man." This carried Col. John R. Marshall back to days of school. He was a cabaret, of course some one had to speak. It was the silver toned oar of the club, Mr. A. L. McBride. .. Reversed English He was given respectful attention. It was a case of "reversed English," not of the billiard room. "Gentlemen, gentlemen!" said he, as he stood on the stairs leading to the assembly room. Several members shouted, He wore, Mc. Bride.

Mr. James Woodward was there. He had a front seat. His wife gave him a curtain lecture on his behavior. When "Little Egypt" sang and danced Mr. Woodward was heard to say, "I preised my wife not to, but I must p land." Delos Bell and Chester to turn the cabaret into a dance, but Dr. Dickerson said, "No, boys, you are in the right church but the wrong pew." A lunch was served. Many strangers were present.

He is probably the clearest lariat artist in the business, and his act went well. Smith & Hunter, two clever girl changes, and the comedian by sibith & Cowell in a play called "Via the Gas Roote," which was right up to the standard. Manny & Roberts, in straight and black face, were the best on the bill, the comedians especially standing out. The Eight Forget-Me-Nots was a very pretty act, and their dancing numbers the costing of this act is great. The Croole Band was a holdover from the first half, the latter part of the past week, and continued their success. The bill opened with "The Rod Bottle," a novelty act, demonstrating the wonderful properties of liquid air, and was followed by John A. West & Co., who introduced the original singing wolf. The wolf was the best part of this act, which is not say much. Kennedy & Burt, in a fair, and were followed by the best comedy biclee act seen here in a long time—the Baader La Valle Trio.

Another one of Klein's Caucasian castoffs from Claude Doley's office was booked in here, billed as Kid Carson & Co., a strong-man and woman act. The male end of the company might have got by all right, but the lady tried to do business trying to be an elephant would have in trying to do a back flip-flop. After the odor had passed away, Johnny Woods was put on in their stend, and did what Johnny always does—made good. The Blank Sisters are playing a return and are putting it over in the same old way. Chas, Gilpin, our old friend of Pekin days, is here with a clever partner, who have a clever act. Burton & Mitchell, who are clever, complete the bill. The Phoenix. Business has been good here all week and that can be accounted for by looking over the program offered here during the week, among which the Hate That Women's Choice, the Duelist, "Any Women, Others, with Francis X. Busman, and "The Christian," Thursday and Friday, featuring Edith Storey, "One in a Million" was here on Saturday, also featuring Keystone. Keystone.

Hearne. Sunday brings a seasonal five-reel imported feature called "The Tigress." It seemed like old times when the doors were thrown open last Saturday night and large audiences were the rule throughout the evening, and it has continued so ever since. A five-cent always rule has been adopted here, and judging from the class of features being booked, success seems assured. Among the features here during the week were "The Passing of the Sword Through Hurt," "The Source of the Desert," "One Flight up," "In the Land of the Otter," and "Three Brothers." Sunday brings the great drama, "The Cross of Fire," and the Keystone comedy, "The Noise of Bombs." The Fountain.

ROBERTS RECITAL A TRIUMPH IN MUSICAL CIRCLE Pronounced Great Singer by Teacher—Voice Sweetest on Night of Debut—Personality Charms Big Audience—Wins Life-long Friends—Big Success. HERMAN DEVRIES PLAYS Sings in French and Italian Perfectly—Upper and Lower Register Please Critics—Has Remarkable Career Before Her—Many Flowers Given. When Miss Maude J. Roberts finished her program at her debut recital as a soprano soloist Thursday night, Feb. 4th, at Lincoln Center, nearly 500 people personally congratulated her for rendering the most classical and enjoyable concert given in this city in years. Being a general favorite with Chicagoans, and one who had worked faithfully in her profession, and freely given her services to churches and charity, and had much to do with the large and then so grand, with which groomed her. Then, too, there was the announcement that the noted Mr. Herman Davies, her teacher, was to accompany her with Mr. Ceel Cohen of Oberlin, to assist. Miss Roberts had studied vocal, harmony, French, Italian, the History and Science of Music, composition and pedagogy. She had done extensive work in concert, oratorio and recital work; therefore she was fully prepared for the occasion, when Miss Roberts, who was beautifully gowned in a pink silk, made her first appearance. She received a generous reception and when she sang "A Pastoral" with Mr. Davies at the pinno, the music lovers immediately realized that for the first time on the south side, two really great artists were there to entertain them. The first group of songs were well received and there was applause after applause and hugh bunches of flowers were given the soliist. Her charming stage manner and winning personality brought enthusiastic ovation. When she sang the group in French, the audience became the peer of the race's great soprano soliists. She had absolute control of her voice and her notes in her upper and lower register were clear, rich and full, and sung with intelligence and soul. In the French group, after the first maneuver, she grasped Miss Roberts hand in adoration of her wonderful achievement. His accompaniment gave a tower of strength to her singing. Her articulate and enunciation was absolutely faultless. It was the first time in sixteen years that Mr. Devries had accompanied a Niph and he did so with so much kill and comportment. The Niph's exudence appalled her. For the second time again took her hand and bowed with her, received her flowers and presented them to her. Miss Roberts not only pleased her audience and rendered a classic and artistic program, but she pleased her teacher, who said her technique, volume and sweetness of voice was marvelous. The concert was a distinct success. Mr. Cecil Cohen showed excellent training and technique, a love and eagerness for his work. He is indeed a very promising young pianist of unusual attainments. His numbers were all well received. Miss Roberts was presented by Mr. Cary B. Lewis, and hundreds have urged that she be presented again in the spring. (a) A Pastoral (from the Opera Rosalinda) .....

If Bell can rise from the obscurity of fame if the intricate science of law, how far should the young man progress whom universities and colleges have paved to go forth in the world of science? Mr. Pitters in his tribute mentions the publication of Mr. Bell's achievements in a daily newspaper.

The department of health has recently made bacteriological examination of the straps used by standing passengers in the street cars of Chicago that is interesting. Such work it should be explained, has been done repeatedly before, both by this department and by the department confirmatory of former fludings—namely, that a large number of haceria of various kinds were present, but, except in isolated cases, they did not appear to be of any sanitary, sig. except for the presence among the ones of some pu-producing organisms. The laboratory was then instructed to make comparative cultures from the leather straps and celluloid-wrapped caps. These cultures were made with especially prepared swabs and were taken from the part of the strap nearest the center of the car, inside of the capsule, or portions of the strap of which passengers take hold. Fourteen cars with celluloid straps were examined, and fifteen with leather straps. The teratoma produced on blood serum plate was 14 from the celluloid straps and 136.0 from the leather straps. The child comes from school and comes home more throne keep it home the next day and apply simple remedies. If in twenty-four hours the threat is not better, call your family physician. This is safety advice and is well worth following. The child that breathes through its mouth frequently has adenoids and is in need of medical attention. The child who will go far to prevent many kinds of sickness that in old times were regarded as visitations from providence. Never knowingly expose your little one to contagion of any kind. Be cause children cannot protect them from contagion parentions must do it for them. In 1913 the Philadelphia vacant lot gardening movement cost $2,261, and the gardens under cultivation produced a small but worth of garden crops. Not only that, but these same gardens contributed materially to the better living of hundreds of families and their increased health, education and pleasure. In 1914, the city acquired an unqualified success, and, in addition to the benefits already noted, has had a wholesome civic influence not only in Philadelphia but in other cities that have benefited from experiment along similar lines. Live right and you'll live longer. Don't neglect the care of your teeth. A clean mouth is a wonderful safety feature. Many people do not drink enough water, though nature has provided a third for this health-giving fluid that is normal conditions may safely maintain. It is estimated that there are at all times in this country one and one-half million people sick from preventable causes, and 1,700 preventable deaths every day. We are conditions that require a special education on health matters. Dr. J. M. Hurty of the Indian state board of health is authority for its statement that "the cost of preventable consumption in his state is not less than ten million dollars a year," and this assertion would apply with equal force to many other states in the Union, with Illinois included. The Philadelphia department of public health and charities has started a war of extermination against rats in that city. In taking this action the Quaker City has set a mighty good example for other American municipalities to follow. The old and oft-repeated saying, "A little knowledge is dangerous," is not wholly true, for even a little knowledge can be complete ignorance. But no one should be content with just a little knowledge so long as there is opportunity to learn. If you are to be puffed, no with nor over it, you have we; but, as the advertising man says, "Keep everlastingly at it" to get more. If we have had the traditional January that old winter is likely to resume control and give us several weeks of pretty fright weather. At all events, will be a long time away. We will be in danger. Meanwhile we do not forget the importance of getting *plenient* supply of Irish, pure air in your home. Lest it bibrate, but ventilate QMAHA, NEB By A. P.

Alfred Anderson, Associate Editor. ONE ON FATHER. They went for a walk, but it started to rain, So they hiked for her home double quick; It might be a wise thing right here to explain That he with her folks wasn't thick. They slipped into the parlor—unseen as they thought— Not bottied were they about light; And sat down on father, but all father caught Was a kiss and a hurried "good-night." MAKING OPPORTUNITIES. THE UNITED STATES RECRUITING STATIONS have received orders from Adjutant-General Marsh, at Washington, D.C., that they may again enlist US for service in the army. Last November an order was issued just to the contrary. The life of a "regular" is anything but tempting, save for the fellow who has no special ambition and is willing to spend the best part of his life etatating. With our race the prospect of advancement in the military field is not very bright. The high offices are all gobbled up by the whites, and we have the eminent distinction of being one of the under dogs. The Eighth is the only regiment entirely manned by our men, and if the powers needed a concrete example of our capabilities along military lines, they need but turn to the eighth to find a record for efficiency along all lines second to no earlier organization in the country. They are termed—and justly the pride of Illinois. They have been weighed in the balance times, and not found wanting. The argument has been put that we are not capable of managing ourselves—that we must white person at our head. Only the densely ignorant believe many, among our children can be found here and women affected mentally, morally, physically and financially for any position or place open to mortals. We may not have the centuries of civilization behind us, as some of the other races boast of, nor do we crave for it if it will bring us to a point where we can blindfold ourselves and commit the most atrocious crimes without a seeming blush, but we have stability, a steadfastness of purpose to grow big and broad, to be kind and forgiving, to pick out the elevating things and to shun the degrading things. The world stands aghast at the progress we have made in fifty years. We have set a pace but we must live up to our own pace; we have just begun; we cannot afford to rest on our flimsy laurels. What we have done is no more than we should have done. A little praise is a good thing, too much is ruinous. We shouldn't ask the other fellow to help us row our canoe—he has one of his own to row. The survival of the fittest is the keynote in this wide world of ours and we must not expect to be the exception. It may be some time before we can convince the doubters that we are capable of being at the head not only in military affairs, but in every walk of life; but it can be done and it is up to us to prove it. We must stop complaining about not having an opportunity and make one. OUR ALDERMANIC CANDIDATE. THE COTERIE OF CITIZENS who are fighting the Second Ward organization, not because the organization has dealt unfairly with us, but because they are all self-selffemicians who will not submit to leadership, have been pushing the candidacy of Charles Griffin, a gentleman who possesses many admirable qualities and is well thought of in the community, but one whom they know deep down in their hearts has not the qualifications of a representative man and is wholly unfitted for the duties and responsibilities of Alderman. On the other hand, the hue and cry has been raised that Oscar De Priest, who does represent the organization, has not the personal integrity to fill the office creditably, that he aligned himself with the Democratic party and fought to elect Al. Tearney—a man with a reputation that does not bear scrutiny—Alderman, and other things calculated to effectually bar him from receiving the support of the people. Should an incompetent man be sent to represent us in the Council, it would throw us back ten years, as through his ability would the intelligence of every Afro-American in the city be judged. Our brothers are prone to weigh us all by the measure which greets their gaze, and contact, whether it be cook or washwoman, with chauffeur or porter. They see us all through the one particular example, hence it behooves us always to keep only the shining lights in the foreground. In advocating the candidacy of Louis B. Anderson for Alderman, the Defender has been prompted to do entirely upon his record as a lawyer, citizen and a man of affairs whose reputation has stood the acid test of public life. We have too much at stake in this fight to trust our standards in the hands of untried men who have shown no evidence of ability, save being the tools of a clique, whether organization or independent. Will the men and women of the Second Ward fail to do their duty in this contest, which means, more to them individually and to the race at large than any opportunity politically in a lifetime. AN ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND WARD ORGANIZATION reveals the fact that after all this much talked of and heralded institution is just one man. It is composed of fifty men whose appointment is made by the ward committeeman. If any of the entry becomes fractions or displays signs of independence, off goes this official head. Those who have been under the impression that the ward organization was the Republican party will readily accept that they have been under a delusion by which the politicians ONLY A DREAM!

NOTWITHSTANDING THE SUPERIOR FACILITIES we have over other American cities for the care of the sick and afflicted, Chicago has yet much to do in the way of awakening the public conscience to the fact that prevention is far better than cure. The people must be made to realize that health is their best asset, that health stands for comfort, efficiency and a long and useful life, while other hand disease brings poverty, crime, inefficiency and in fact, a diseased race or individual is handicapped in the life. The public conscience can best be aroused through the medium of an educational campaign, in the way of public lectures, through the press, as is being done by Dr. W. A. Evans in the Chicago Tribune, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams in this paper, and by other prominent doctors and papers. In our schools, where gather daily six hundred thousand young Americans, this health propaganda is being efficiently talked with telling results. The pulpit has been enlisted in this campaign, and often physicians have occupied the pulpit for lectures on health. This is especially apropos because people can best serve God under the influence of fresh air, with healthy body free from pain and disease. Even with all this light there is still abundance of the darkness of ignorance, unhygienic and insanitary conditions to make us heartily unite with this national movement inaugurated by Dr. Booker T. Washington to observe actively "Health Week"—March 21 to 27. Statistics show that right here in the city of Chicago the death rate among the Afro-Americans is from two to three times as great as that of other Americans with but few exceptions; then, too, this high rate of mortality is greatest among the preventable diseases, namely, consumption, organic heart disease, Bright's disease and pneumonia. It is a fact that from thirty to fifty of our infants die between the first and second year of age; the best authorities on health claim that eighty per cent of this high death rate of infants is due to ignorance or neglect and could have been easily prevented. It behooves every man, woman and child to get busy and do their part in reducing this high mortality rate to the minimum. This can best be done by and through united efforts, and one of the agencies that we most heartily recommend, as stated above, is the intelligent and enthusiastic observation of "Health Week." CHANGING CROPS. WHEN THE COTTON CROPS GO AWRY the moans and lamentations from improvident Southern farmers can be heard all over this broad land. In fact, the entire business of the South is crippled. Cotton is the standard of everything; their all depends on the success or failure of the crops. Why they should ask aid and sympathy from those who live in other parts of the country is a conundrum, unless they mean to admit—which is true—that they are not progressive. They have been running along in the same old rut for generations, and it has either been a feast or a famine; never have they struck the happy medium line. The farmer in other sections of the country does not confine himself to one crop. He plants wheat, corn, oats, barley, a variety of vegetables, fruit bearing trees and vines, besides raising live stock enough for his own consumption and to sell. Take it among our own people in the South, for instance: for every dollar's worth of cotton we grow we raise only forty-nine cents' worth of other crops. There are three hundred and twenty thousand farms on which there are no cattle of any kind; two thousand on which no poultry is raised; one hundred and fifty thousand farms grow no oats; five hundred thousand produce no sweet potatoes, and on two hundred thousand farms there are no gardens of any sort. With these conditions it is no wonder the South is a hundred years behind the times. Only in the past few years have they begun to awaken to this fact. The invasion of northern and western farmers in the South has made them open their eyes and, perhaps, from now on they will have diversified crops, so if one fails they will have the others to fall back on. The southland is rich and fertile, and it only requires brains first and brawn afterward to make farming pay. Let us have less whining and more doing from our friends below the Mason and Dixon line. ONE OF OUR WORTHY CONTEMPORARIES, in speaking of a political meeting held in the interest of the aldermanic candidate who is going to lose out, said: "It was a large crowd, and as the evening wore on the crowd became denser and denser." What else was to be expected? AS THE PEOPLE SEE IT STREWING FLOWERS. IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS in life that go to make up either pleasure or pinn, joy or sorrow, happiness or unhappiness. How many heartaches have been caused by what is termed little things. An unkind word thoughtlessly spoken, a slight unpremeditated, or an important deed left undone, has brought deeper pain sometimes than the aches of despair caused by drunkenness or the seemingly overpowering ache that comes with the thought of some dear one who has committed a heinous crime. If we could look behind the curtain in many homes where peace and harmony outwardly prevail, homes that are thought to be ideal, how often would we find deep buried heartaches in the brave ones who are trying to keep their troubles from the eyes of the world. The power is vested in those we love to hurt us the most. Love is sensitive, and the greater the love the deeper the hurt. So many marriages are broken up because one or the other or both participants think it necessary to stop the courtship after the wedding ceremony has been performed; in other words, they see no need of running for a street car after they caught it, the energy and excitement is all in the chase. They forget that the street car, unless handled properly, may break down and be of no service. They forget that their life partner is just as important a member of the firm as they are, that the sight, the frown, the impatient word and the stilled kiss are damaging and destructive factors in the successful carrying on of domestic relations. That a bitter thought can be hugged so closely to the heart that it deadens the sensibilities. No matter what age, we are always boys and girls if we can but make up our minds to believe so. Life is too short to waste time in grieving which might be spent in happiness. Why can't we more often explain as we go, apologize where apology is needed, forgive when forgiveness is necessary, humble ourselves—do anything to heal the love we have wounded. It is well to have pride, but no man or woman lowers themselves by admitting they were wrong or even partially so, and it is so easy to do it when the hurt is first given. To love one another is an idealistic condition we have not reached, but we can be just and spread a few flowers in the pathway of our friends today, for there may not be a tomorrow. A FOOL LAW: THE OKLAHOMA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES recently passed what is known as a "Landlord's Lien Bill," a measure which is patterned after an archaic statute in vogue in the Southern States. The general purpose of the measure, which might well be classed under the head of remedial legislation, is to require the tenant to guarantee the rental and insure success at cropping. As the owners of the greater portion of the land in the section of the State which is affected by the bill will not allow the cultivation of anything but cotton on the "patches" that they rent to the miserable tenants, the measure concerns almost exclusively this form of agricultural industry. The landlord has experienced some slight discomforts in the matter of rainfall, holl weevils and other hazards that nature contributes and in order to protect him from these risks the House of Representatives has decided that he should have more protection against the elements of nature and has further decided that the proper agency to afford the protection is the tenant. The average tenant in Oklahoma, and elsewhere, for that matter, is usually wealthy in children and dogs and that is about all, so it takes very little gray matter to figure out how much good it will do the greedy landlord to hold this kind of a tenant. It is too bad our legislative bodies cannot busy themselves with making constructive instead of destructive laws. A little power given to some people is a dangerous thing and very often it is our misguided friends that do us the most harm. Wise was he who said, "What fools we mortals be." During the past we is an ardent advocate, bucket of ten-cent recoopse that they would predicts that in less the same price. After ten-cent band, we will kick in and uphold eye ten-cent line. k a member of the Appomattox Club, who the ten-cent-a-throw phone, took home a s for his graphaphone; laughingly told his finally work down to him, and he further in a year we will be getting lobsters for being what has come to light under the longer disagree with the gentleman; but thing he should fancy to utter along; the EXTRA SPECIAL: FROM EVANS, GA., comes the word that Dr. Culverson, a practicing physician residing about twelve miles from Augusta, was shot to death by citizens at 4 o'clock in the morning, he being charged with an attack on the daughter of the magistrate there. Note carefully the state—Georgia; the crime—attacking a girl; and, above all, note that the victim was WHITE. Surely there must be some mistake—such a thing can't be "did." We are almost tempted to close up shop and take all the working force of this office, including the "war correspondent," go down there and make a personal investigation. Why, if such things are allowed to go on, there won't be enough "prominent citizens" (?) left to form the usual mob, whose duty it is to look after our interests. Perish the thought. DEFINITION OF A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN. A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN is a white (?) man, rich or poor, who keeps black wenches and raises children by them, and who also has a white wife who is afraid to protest against his vicious acts, and who may go out at any time and slay a colored person or persons at will without the State or National governments interfering; or rape a colored woman or girl at will before he slays her, as the white gentleman at Monticello, Ga., did. This is the class of men in America we would call gentlemen. CALIFORNIA, THAT'S ALL! THE STATE FAIR COMMISSIONERS, if quoted correctly, made a statement that Negroes and dogs were not wanted at their fair. If true, we (the Negro) should worry. We care very little for cowards; it is awfully strange they did not mention the Japs in their "not wanted." UNIONS ARE SO INCONSISTENT: they will strike if a foreman tells a brick mason to lay some stone, but when the bakers tell them to pay six cents for a loaf of bread, they look on and grieve; this is the time they should strike for more wages to meet the demands of the flour kings. PRESIDENT WILSON WILL DO quite well to aid the assassins of the South instead of Jews in Poland. Not that we are not kindly disposed to them, but we still believe that a man should provide for his own family before he does another. THE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION liberated a number of deer in the mountains and in the woodlands in other parts of Kentucky recently. Kentucky has nothing on the "Stroll," where nightly can be found hundreds of game dears. THE "WALRUS WIGGLE" is one of the new dances now in popular favor, and it is all that its name implies. There is one thing certain: unless this fad for eccentric dances wanes, we will have a country full of contortionists and acrobats. POLITICALLY SPEAKING, Cole Blease is a dead issue, but he did not leave office entirely friendless, if there is any milk of human kindness in the soul of man. Those pardoned by him from the state penitentiary should give evidence of it. WITH THE SIZE OF bread loaves reduced and the price raised to six cents, the frugal housewife will occasionally substitute the old standby, corn bread. Even though many of us were practically brought up on it, the taste still lingers. STRANGE THAT IT IS ALWAYS A SUBURBAN REAL ESTATE DEALER who sees the first robin or who makes captive the first butterfly. Wonder if it could have anything to do with selling lots in his new subdivision? THE SOUTHERN WHITE MAN IS the Negro's best friend. The fool that uttered such an expression should be tarred and feathered. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T HELP MATTERS to cry hard times, but it does make us think twice before we throw away a dollar foolishly. DEFENDER'S arose between the partner and myself concerning the ownership of the fixtures. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Two weeks ago I was served with a writ of injunction restraining me from "interfering with the business or promises" and preventing me from exercising any rights in the place whatsoever. The Officer's Duty Feb. 6.—Defender Legal Helps: I was driving my horse along the street and it fell and was injured. A policeman shot my horse, stating that he was a right to do under the law. I would not show if he had a right to kill my horse. One week ago this partner moved all the fixtures and furnishings from the premises and placed them in storage. I have no lawyer and I am soeking advice' from your legal department. Please advise me whether I should sue the landlord for disregarding my rights under the lease, or should I partner for the possession of my goods. Answer: The city ordinance provides that when an animal on the streets is injured or diseased beyond or past recovery for any useful purpose and not properly cared for by or someone in charge, then an officer may animal if it is not removed within a hour after found in said condition. Answer: We advise you to consult a competent attorney in this matter, because from the facts you state, we infer that there must be circumstances which have complicated the situation so as to require personal legal advice.
